The story takes place when Wang Xiaoqiang was eight years old. An old lady in the village passed away. She lived a simple and clean life before her death. When they passed away, all the elderly people in the village gathered together, and the small blue brick and tile house was surrounded by people wearing black clothes and cloth shoes, making the scene very solemn.
Out of curiosity, Wang Xiaoqiang and other children wanted to get closer and see what was going on, but they were sternly rebuked by the adults: “Who made you stand here? Is this something you can see too? Hurry up and go back to me
The children dispersed in a hurry, but their curiosity did not diminish, especially Wang Xiaoqiang.
The next day, Xiaoqiang came home from school early and suddenly heard a thunderbolt on the way. Then, every household in the village hung white candles and black gauze lanterns. He felt very strange and whispered a sentence before continuing to walk forward, but his pace unconsciously slowed down a lot. Gradually, a sound of suona entered his ears, and Wang Xiaoqiang looked towards the source of the sound. He saw someone playing music in the tile house and many elderly people crying. At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized that the old lady had passed away and was holding a funeral.
Years later, Wang Xiaoqiang realized that the living should avoid the dead, especially children, but at that time he did not take it seriously.
Xiaoqiang looked around and noticed that no adults had noticed him, so he quietly walked into the small house. The cottage is very old and dilapidated, and a strange smell can be faintly smelled. Wang Xiaoqiang leaned against the tattered door frame and sneaked a peek inside with a cat’s waist. What was terrifying was that suddenly there was a strong gust of wind, and the candles inside the house were blown down to the ground, and a black cloth was thrown away. Seeing all of this, especially the black cloth, the elderly immediately became confused. That black cloth was originally placed on the face of the deceased. I don’t know who shouted, ‘Quickly cover the black cloth!’ In the midst of everyone’s panic, Wang Xiaoqiang witnessed an incredible scene – the old lady’s eyes opened, her whites and pupils clearly visible, staring straight at him as if she had come to life.
Why did you come here, you naughty child? “Xiaoqiang’s grandmother was also in the room, and she slapped Wang Xiaoqiang awake.” Why did you come here? You disobedient child
Wang Xiaoqiang told his grandmother, “That old lady’s eyes have opened.” The grandmother trembled all over and turned around to look, but she didn’t see anything. But the grandmother looked even more frightened and said with a slightly tearful tone, “You child, why are you so disobedient
That night, many elderly people came to our home, including those from our own village and those from other villages. Grandma covered Wang Xiaoqiang’s eyes with a red cloth, and he didn’t know what those people had done. He only remembered smelling a scent of sandalwood.
A few hours later, when it got dark, there was suddenly a commotion in the room, a thumping sound that only Wang Xiaoqiang seemed to be able to hear. He told his grandmother, “It seems like someone is knocking on the window
As soon as Grandma heard these words, she immediately covered Wang Xiaoqiang’s ears and shouted outside, “Let’s start
Later, Xiaoqiang felt that many people were circling around him, muttering things in detail but unable to hear clearly. The only thing that could be heard clearly was the grandmother holding Wang Xiaoqiang and constantly praying, “Grandma, the child is not sensible. Please let him go, please
The sound of knocking on the window grew louder and louder, and eventually everyone could hear it clearly.
Someone shouted loudly, ‘Everyone, hurry up!’ The footsteps suddenly became urgent, and the sound of knocking on the window became even more crazy, as if the whole house was trembling.
Just as the sound reached its peak, someone softly shouted ‘kill’, followed by a crowing of chickens and a loud bang. The sky once again thundered, everything returned to calm, and no more sound was heard.
The calamity of the hit passed safely and with no danger.
Later, I heard from the elderly people that the deceased was a godmother who was very malicious during her lifetime. She never expected that after death, she would also plan to do evil and specifically target her children. Fortunately, everyone worked together to save Wang Xiaoqiang.
The story ends here. There are different paths for people and ghosts. Do not believe superstitions, as the Ming lords are well aware. Be kind to others and avoid doing evil. Whether in life or death, be respected by others. This is also something that people should uphold.
